Lucky Breaks (Double entendre intended!)

O.K., you never know what's gonna happen, and I certainly didn't with my last posting. My niece had to be hospitalized the next day and I ended up spending the next few weeks at her house taking care of my 3 yr old great niece and 4 month old great nephew. I was going to stay another week to help her with the kids after my niece came home from the hospital, but I ended up breaking a toe walking across the carpet! Luckily everything has worked out and I'm back at home again. Which leads me to my next book, lucky breaks, (no - its not supposed to be capitalized.) This is the follow up book to the Newbery winner The Higher Power of Lucky, by Susan Patron. If you loved the first one, you're sure to enjoy this one as well. This time Lucky is about to turn 11 and has discovered a mystery surrounding a broken brooch.
